Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Holmes was such a fucking awful portal take. I called it out for what it was in the transfer thread and some of you got all up in your feels being defensive about a guy you hadn't heard of six hours earlier just because our staff said they wanted him. He looked mediocre in coverage in the ACC playing WRs several tiers below what even the garbage Big 12 teams field. He was (and still is) one of the worst tacklers in all of the FBS. Not just an issue of physicality or size; gets juked out of his damn socks by any kind hint of lateral movement. Edit: It got kind of lost in my rant about Holmes but point is yeah I fully agree that if nothing else yesterday highlighted the huge need for Black or Mack. MM and Brookes need help next year that isn't on this roster yet. To the second part wasn't it Catalon in on that final play? Pretty sure that was #11 that stood flat footed like he was mid stroke in the front of the endzone while the OU wideout went into the back corner completely uncovered for the game losing TD pass (Jerrin Thompson was covering the WR in the shallow route). I'm not entirely blaming him for it because I can only assume his role was spying the QB and it was supposed to be a corner from the other side following the WR as he motioned but either way if Catalon was back in the game for play that important he is likely 100% good to go moving forward.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Obviously the biggest name would be Ryan Williams if he actually goes through with reclassifying to 2024. People say Hudson might be the best WR prospect in a decade, and they have a point, but he won't even be the top rated WR in his own class if Williams goes through with it. Kid is that damned good. We are likely running second with him currently but he is firmly locked to Bama. They've viewed him as an absolute cannot fail to recruit kid in the same way we viewed Simmons this cycle. We will need both the "Is Saban washed?" whispers to continue and their offense to keep looking as horrendous as it does vs USF right now to have a real shot.

Of course we get our first goddamn thunderstorm and sustained rain in like four months on our biggest recruiting game. Hopefully everyone is still able to make it in (shouldn't impact the game itself at least).

All of you are assuming that Simmons wants to go somewhere with more diversity and more people of color. Perhaps it is the opposite? Would explain his ongoing preference for LSU...

Sounding like he will start out as a slot receiver.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
That is about basketball. That mediocre as fuck transfer guard Horton was on his visit and they said they would have an update this morning on how it went. Considering the timing pretty obviously about him. Also Gerry didn't jump in to correct the people who immediately clarified it was about basketball which basically confirms it.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
I could have sworn multiple sites had Jayden Jackson also announcing today but I can't find anything official saying such. Maybe it was just a rumor that got shot down over last few days.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Five actually. Simmons, Black, McKinley, Baker and Wingo. Just about everyone seems to consider us comfortably leading for Simmons and Black at the moment. Same can arguably be said for McKinley following his visit and the more we hear that travel distance + academics are going to be crucial to his decision the more you have to love our chances. Obviously there is a lot of hype about us and Wingo as well; personally I think all of that is irrelevant until he takes his OV to Tennessee (our real competition) later this month but even still we have a good shot. Finally we pretty much know Baker is a coin flip between ourselves and Ohio St. Crazy thing is unlike past years where we would do these 'dream scenario' type lists none of these really require a bunch of things to fall our way. We could land all five and it wouldn't even be an upset (not that I expect that to actually happen).- Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
I meant whichever the top wideout is this cycle for them that I know cost a fucking fortune. I guess it was probably Smith? Yeah you are right tho Innis was last cycle. edit: actually after looking at their class it would have been in reference to Graham as my friend was talking about absolute insane cost in April (which is when that kid committed). They've had Smith on lock for much longer. Point is per friend in the circles at OSU Baker is really their top remaining target they are willing to dump a ton of resources on so going to be an interesting battle.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Same. McKinley is the second most important recruit in this cycle behind Simmons and we have the advantage of an academics focused mom squarely in our corner. If landing him causes LSU to double down and shift resources to Mack.. so be it. Take that trade seven days a week. Baker would be a lovely get, and securing the heir to Banks in this class would be ideal, but OSU has a lot of NIL ammo left this cycle and he is supposedly their top priority after securing Innis. We would love to have him obviously but would you rather lock down Wingo and perhaps two elite defenders for the same resoures? I certainly don't envy the bastards having to make these decisions. Things were a lot easier back when it was just about finding some kid's cousin a fucking job lmao.- Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: It's Miller Time
Looks to be a Bartstool guy that mostly covers NBA and gambling? Brief scan of his twitter doesn't seem to suggest he is the kind of guy throwing out random shit just to see what sticks or to try and build fake clout. edit: wtf nevermind seems he does mostly true crime shit? So even less reason for him to just randomly he throwing that out there unless he actually heard something.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

I believe Hill actually went up three spots in this final ranking for them. They've always had him much lower than the others.- 2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized
Pretty sure this is the kid who is like their version of Troy O. Flashed major talent but then had consecutive knee ACL injuries.- 2023 Texas Coaching and Support Staff Thread
Hey I will happily take my roasting if he comes here and does well. Just know that Tech people were constantly bitching about him and happy when he left, so already had some familiarity with the name, and then reached out to a friend who covers a PAC team after he was connected with the Texas gig and the shit I heard reminded me of peak Herman-era levels of idiocy and petty bullshit disguised as being 'tough'. So far Sark has done a quality job filling the various positions though so I guess, begrudgingly, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. You can chalk me up in the camp that would celebrate Adam Henry. Jackson as well to a lesser extent. Just think there is immense value in bringing people in already experienced in dealing with young men who suddenly have more money than sense. There is a certain level of ego and laziness that inherently come to many upon their first real pay day and guys who've spent years in the NFL are seasoned at beating that attitude out of people or they don't tend to stay in the NFL coaching circles very long.- 2023 Texas Coaching and Support Staff Thread
Filani would be an awful hire. He has shown nothing whatsoever at Tech or WSU to support the idea he can actually develop or coach the position well. He isn't well liked on a personal level either. He was supposedly a part of why two of the top three wideouts at WSU, both two-year starters (Ollie and Stribling), hit the portal. People around Tech do not speak well of him on a personal level either and anyone you ask will talk about how much better the position played once Emmet Jones replaced him.- 2023 Texas Coaching and Support Staff Thread
Sark fully intended to dump Coleman out on his ass but like ~7 people turned down the position. Eventually just reached a point where giving Coleman a one year shot without Herman's influence was a better option than scraping the bottom of the barrel for a replacement in that cycle. He said all kinds of dumb shit praising Coleman after the fact but it was/remains widely known he never wanted the guy. Nahlin was talking about that again just the other day that like six guys turned us down before Sark finally just accepted he had to stick with Coleman.- 2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized
I believe he declared for the draft. Stellar pickup for KSU and that fucker is probably going to put up some serious numbers next year in their offense. Not sure what else they had at the spot behind Deuce but the FSU kid has looked great when given touches.- 2023 Texas Coaching and Support Staff Thread
I wouldn't be entirely shocked to see Riley Dodge hired to fill that special assistant to the HC spot just as an FYI based on some things I've heard the past few days. Obviously that seems more a gig fit for a Patterson-type with past head coaching and coordinator experience but I've heard specifically from two different people in the football program that the job they are considering Riley Dodge for is likely NOT the Highschool relations gig.- 2023 Texas Coaching and Support Staff Thread
I was going to reply something similar along the lines of "It is okay to just say we need more than one non-white coach on our offensive staff" but then I struggled in deciding whether Banks counts. If we had a draft I'm not sure where he ends up tbh.- 2023 Texas Coaching and Support Staff Thread
Exactly. I have no idea if that is the direction we will go with this hire but it does alleviate some of the concerns. The rule change is a massive deal for smaller sports like swimming, or even the baseball team, where you had a rigid cap only allowing ~two paid assistants. This caused 'volunteer coaches' to become a thing and it was this whole toxic somewhat predatory system mess that is thankfully about to be killed off. While it isn't as big a deal with football specifically, since many programs have begun following the Bama trend of just stocking up on 'analysts', but it removes the need for any smoke and mirrors nonsense and you can just bluntly have on staff, as titled, "assistant WR coach" and things like that without limit. Obviously Hooks himself isn't a great example since he is already established and could likely land a decent full WR positional coaching gig if he wanted one but there are plenty of guys like him out there that specialize in training technique that continue to work with college kids all around the country. You have them at every position. Currently it is often very difficult to get these guys to join your staff because it is hard to convince the program leadership to invest in roles that pay them more than they make doing their personal training. It is also a weird ambiguous thing to add to a resume for many of these guys. By being able to formalize the positions and just bluntly be like "Your title is "Assistant WR coach" or whatever it helps sell the job and justify paying them what it takes to bring in developmental difference makers. edit: The key thing here is that they are going to be formally recognized on field positions which is what these kind of people look for and need for their resumes. It also should skirt around the issue of not being able to hire trainers who worked with any of your signees - Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
